  1. This is a very dated study but look at the difference between minivans and SUVs on pedestrian safety. Relevant to the discussion this week on

  2. Driving is terrifying. I think if we understood it better, we wouldn't want to drive. But then of course, most of us would be completely screwed.

  3. A+ rowhouses. Design, materials, layout, the whole thing 😍

  4. When will the climate movement get interested in national transportation policy? Never? Okay. Cool.

  5. One for the sorry bus stop playoffs

  6. This is one of the most dangerous roads in Georgia: Tara Boulevard. It shouldn't be a big mystery why pedestrians are dying in such high numbers.

  7. A little thread about where my family’s from: Toledo, “the glass city.” This bowl is not crystal it’s cut glass and I inherited it from my great aunt, a lifelong Toledo resident. She supported herself working as an executive assistant at Owens Illinois (now Owens Corning)

  8. I am seriously triggered by Rav4s. They used to be these adorable little lifted micro corollas. Now they're all roided out and scowling and enormous. And Toyota discontinued their more efficient larger Prius just to force everyone to buy them. Boooooooo, Toyota.

  9. Look at what happened in Delaware County Ohio in 2016. Richest county in Ohio (exurban Columbus). Notice how it’s redder than much poorer Erie county.

  10. Smart people have been calling to strike the word “accident” from the language around traffic deaths for almost a century. (From Barron Lerner’s One For the Road)

  11. When you replace stock images NHTSA is using of models walking in France with actual U.S. pedestrians in the actual conditions they are navigating, do their messages seem more absurd? That's what I was going for anyway.

  12. Wait actually look what just happened!! 🙌🏼🙌🏼

  13. Me: *In one of those getting like 50 mpg the gallon. Laughing at these redic MFers in (Trail ready!) $68,000 Jeep Cherokees that get 14 mpg.*

  14. The ideal car for city driving is a 1995 geo metro. Don't @ me.

  15. When your interests collide in a bad way 😭

  16. FACT: SUVs are 30 percent less efficient on average than sedans. We lost a decade we couldn't afford to lose in decarbonizing transportation thanks to this kind of pablum from groups like

  17. I'm sorry but eff u . SUV drivers are STILL twice as likely to die in rollover crashes AND 2-3 times as likely to kill pedestrians. This is a group that could have been a rational voice against this massively destructive consumer trend

  18. Okay points out Volvo has done this (built in car seats). And look 😍

  19. Me thinking about how car companies figured out how to make a seat that would warm your ass but not one that can be reconfigured to safely accommodate a toddler.
